Electrical Devices vs. Electronics Devices

Key Differences

Electrical mostly operate with high voltage while electronics operate with low voltage.

15

Electrical devices mostly operate with high voltage while electronic devices deal with low voltage.

9

Electrical devices mostly deal with AC (Alternating Current) but not always and electronics mostly deal with DC (Direct Current) but not always.

Electrical circuits don't have the ability to make decisions while electronics circuits have the decision making ability.

8

Electrical devices use the purely passive components (Components that don’t require external supply for their operation) for their working and while Electronic Devices work with at least one active component (Components that require external supply for their operation).

8

Many electrical machines contain electronic components in them to handle and control their functioning.

Most of the Electrical devices operate on 220 Volts or more while on the other hand most of the Electronic devices operate on 3 to 12 Volts.

6

Heavy transformers used in transmission are electrical devices while small transformers used in toys and chargers are electronic devices.

What are Electrical Devices?

Electrical circuits don’t have the ability to make decisions. Electrical appliances are mostly large and deal with high current and voltage. Electrical devices use the purely passive components (Components that don’t require external supply for their operation) for their working. Motors run on 11 kV or more. Generators produces 100 KW or more. Mostly operate in AC. Generators, large transformers, heavy motors are electrical devices. Resistance is a passive component and is used in electrical devices as it don’t require external supply for its operation.

What are Electronics Devices?

Electronics circuits have the decision making ability. Electronic appliances are mostly small and deal with low voltage and current. Electronic Devices work with at least one active component (Components that require external supply for their operation). Mostly operate on 3-12 DC. Cell phones, laptops, radio and microwave oven are electronic devices. Diodes and transistors are active components and used in the electronic devices that require some volts to be functional while placed in the circuit normally 0.3 volts to 0.7 volts.
